He has attributed the transformation in people's lives to government schemes and programmes, referring to it as "the most significant achievement of our government over the past decade."

It is your support that gives me the immense strength to take bold decisions for the nation’s welfare, draw up aspirational plans and implement them smoothly,” the letter said, seeking suggestions to fulfil the resolve of building a Viksit Bharat.
